Milwaukee Public School Principal Buys BMW with school funds

THIS IS NOT TRUE, but could you imagine how the righties would be screaming if it were? Instead, it's a charter school and a voucher school that bought two Mercedes-Benzs mentioned in a news article so it's no big deal.

This story about a charter school in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel illustrates again that having schools get state funding without being subjected to the same state laws and oversight is simply not a good idea. The school in question has struggled to pay its teachers and may now have to be closed. Do you think the education of these children is going to suffer at all through this? The more than 200 children in this school should never have been put into this position.

Where is the outrage on the right?

But it's all about the children...and maybe some luxury vehicles.

While I agree with your take on the story (charter schools often allow too much financial independence without oversight), you should remember, Carrie, that the principal is your pal.

Oh my, proof that I shouldn't write this stuff before at least four cups of java! Thanks for catching the typo.
